David Pecaut was a civic leader, city-builder and Toronto booster. He spearheaded the formation of the Toronto City Summit Alliance in 2002 and co-founded Luminato in 2007.
"The potential of Toronto lies not so much within its architectural or economic or social possibilities as in what it could represent to the world as a place where amazing things get done because this city is full of conveners, of civic entrepreneurs, of people who understand in their collective DNA how to bring all the parts of civil society around a table to solve problems, seize opportunities, and make great things happen."
David Pecaut, 1955 - 2009
